My husband and I purchased Pedego bikes after his traumatic foot injury, which took part of his foot. After several months of surgery and using crutches to get around, when he started to go to Physical therapy, he realized that riding a bike was more comfortable than actually walking. He researched electric bikes for a good month before settling on a pedego. I don't think we've ever been so happy. There's nothing like cruising around on a Pedego. Now we have something to plan our vacations around...can't wait for our next ride!
